The Pool Plan reaches Puente Tocinos with the renovation of the ´Fuente del Reloj´ (26/11/2019)

The actions have consisted of the reform of the glass, which will house about 25 cubic meters of water, in order to improve its aesthetic appearance and serve as a point of attention for the neighbors.

These works are part of the City Council's strategy to improve the sources and lakes of the municipality.

"The residents of Puente Tocinos can enjoy in a few days the new environment, whose work will improve, not only the aesthetics and functionality of the installation, but also the quality of life of citizens," said Councilman José Guillén.

Murcia City Council is finalizing this week the improvement works of the well-known 'Fuente del Reloj' of the Plaza Región Murciana of Puente Tocinos.

"Specifically, the remodeling of a space of about 40 square meters has been carried out, which will house some 25 cubic meters of water for the use and enjoyment of Murcia," said the Councilor for Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration, José Guillén, who adds that this action is part of the 2023 Pool Plan to improve the sources and lakes of the municipality.

Among the works, carried out by the company STV Gestión, the entire fountain vessel (the bottom where the water sits) has been renovated in order to improve its aesthetic appearance and serve as a point of attention for the inhabitants of Puente Tocinos .

Councilor José Guillén explains that "there is a great novelty for those who decide to visit this renovated space, because vegetation has been incorporated into the fountain through a second concentric concrete wall."

"These improvements have their point of visual attention in the new water game that is ready to work and surprise, day and night, since now it has a new LED lighting system," says the mayor.

In this way, the City of Murcia, through the company STV Gestión, is making different visual and functional improvements to various sources and lakes located in the municipality.

"The residents of Puente Tocinos can enjoy in a few days the new environment, whose work will improve, not only the aesthetics and functionality of the installation, but also the quality of life of citizens," said Councilman José Guillén.

Pool Plan

The 2023 Pool Plan encompasses four major measures, including the renovation of nine major works, such as the four ponds, such as La Seda, El Salitre, Los Patos, in San Ginés, and Fofó Park, and the five Historical fountains, such as the Circular Square, the Clock Tower House (Tocinos Bridge), the José Cánovas Ortiz Garden (Beniaján), the Juana Jugán Avenue (Tocinos Bridge) and the Liberty Avenue (Guadalupe).

The construction of ten new ornamental fountains in the most emblematic places of the city, such as Santo Domingo and San Esteban;

the holding of an annual contest of ideas, in which the winning project will be executed;

and the investment of 100,000 euros per year for the construction of new sources in the municipality and its districts, for five years, are the other three major measures that make up the 2023 Pool Plan.

"Water is very present in the history of our city, it is an indispensable element in Mediterranean gardens from its origins and we are going to give it a central place in these spaces," says the mayor.
